Providing AWS Security Credentials

AWS Connector

You provide AWS Security Credentials by means of an AWS Connector that is managed via Identity Federation for AWS:

Identity Federation for AWS

Refer to the Identity Federation for AWS Administrator's Guide for details on how to configure the connectors.

you need to provide at least one AWS Connector with System Scope to allow usage from Bamboo builds and JIRA workflows, where no user session is available
a connector yields a set of temporary credentials on action execution (optionally limiting the IAM permissions)
you can configure multiple connectors to provide credentials with different IAM permissions tailored for specific use cases

AWS China (Beijing) Region

The AWS China (Beijing) Region is an API compatible, but otherwise isolated AWS Region designed to allow China-based and multinational companies to make use of a broad collection of AWS services while remaining in compliance with China's legal and regulatory requirements.

The AWS China (Beijing) Region is supported as such, however:

The cn-north-1 region requires dedicated credentials, see Announcing the AWS China (Beijing) Region: "Customers who wish to use the new Beijing Region are required to sign up for a separate set of account credentials unique to the China (Beijing) Region. Customers with existing AWS credentials will not be able to access resources in the new Region, and vice versa."
Due to being a non China-based company, we are not currently in the position to test this add-on with the AWS China (Beijing) Region directly. However, the API is compatible in general and this add-on should just work accordingly - please get in touch if things do not work as intended, we are very interested to collaborate on the necessary adjustments.

AWS GovCloud (US) Region

The AWS GovCloud (US) Region is an API compatible, but otherwise isolated AWS Region designed to allow US government agencies and customers to move sensitive workloads into the cloud by addressing their specific regulatory and compliance requirements).

The AWS GovCloud (US) Region is supported as such, however:

The us-gov-west-1 region requires dedicated credentials, see How do Government agencies, contractors and customers access the AWS GovCloud (US) Region?: "Customers cannot sign up for AWS GovCloud (US) through the traditional, online AWS sign up process. AWS must engage with the customer directly to sign an agreement specific to the AWS GovCloud (US) Region. [...]"
Due to being a non US company, we are not currently in the position to test this add-on with the AWS GovCloud (US) Region directly. However, the API is compatible in general and we have done our best to address the documented differences - please get in touch if things do not work as intended, we are very interested to collaborate on the necessary adjustments.
